bof “The Outlook,” who inscribed a book to

jincident, is not the only author repre- 
sented in the library of C. 'T. Yerkes’s ward.| 
as George W. Cable appears to have in-| 
‘i seribed two volumes to Miss Grigsby, and 

Albert Herter, the New York artist, who} 
jillustrated the books in question, is also) 

represented. In a limited edition of “Old 

Creole Days” Mr. Cable wrote on the fly-| 

leaf: “Miss E, B. Grigsby (a quotation of 
ji three lines of the book follows) ; the most. 
| cordial good wishes of yours truly, G. W. 

Cable. Christmas, ’°99.". 

At the bottom of the page Albert Herter | 
wrote: “This embarrasses me and I feel 
microscopic—Albert Herter.” 

A similar edition of “The Grandissimes’’ 
| has a quotaion from the book in the au- 
| thor’s handwriting and. the inscription 
“Miss EB. B. Grigsby—Every good wish of 

yours truly, G. W. Cable. Christmas, ’99.’’ 

Albert Herter’s contribution is. ‘Since I 

have done it I suppose I must stand by it) 
j and sign my name to it—only had I known) 
“you when I did it—it could not have. been) 

So bad.—Albert Herter.” Mr. Herter, when) 
| interrogated over the telephone last night,| 
said that he was not quite sure but that he) 
might have given the books to Miss kaa

Alfred Douglas, the son’ of Lady Aifreal 
Douglas, in his “The City .of-the Soul, a 
wrote on one page several stanzas of verss| 
and on. the opposite side appears ‘To 
Hmilie Grigsby from the author—New York, 
Nov., 1901." As an. after thought. is added: 
“From a poet to a poem.” 

Three . autograph. letters of Theodore 
Roosevelt to Miss Grigsby are listed in the 
eollection, but theré are merely formal 
notes’. concerning the furlough of her 
brother, who was a member of the Rough 
Riders... Henry W. Poor, in a volume of) 
bookbinding, wrote “To Miss Grigsby, with) 
the compliments and best wishes of Henry} 
W. Poor, New York, Jan. 19, 1904.” Henry 
Harland, in “‘The Lady Paramount,” wrote:

1320. Royal Ispahan Rug, Sixteenth Century. 


Three borders enclose life-like animals in attitudes of Hight 7 
pursuit and combat, typifying the strife towards Eternal Life. 
The field of the rug is formed of panels with a variety of patterns — 
of birds, animals and fish, conventionalized on a ruby ground — 
of uncommon shade, the whole design being one of mythological — 
significance, showing Chinese influence. 
The general motif of beasts and birds of prey with their vicina 

suggests the struggle between right and wrong, light and dark-— 
ness, the chief motif being the lotus, emblem of Eternity. The 
prevailing tone of the rug is old ruby color, the narrow outer 
border being of rose color, the inner border of old pink; both 
decorated with birds and animals. The principal border is 
of old Persian blue with trees, flowers, birds and animals. A

the two upper are of fanciful floral decoration, another contains 
the Tree of Life, another a coat-of-arms and royal emblems, 
another a rug with medallion and another a prayer rug. Blue 
columns support a rich red Mihrab from the centre of which is

ornamental columns with a decoration of heads, on each side 
of which are beautifully modeled peacocks from which run the 
old Persian leaf on which are ornamental gold fishes. 

The leaves springing from the centre medallion also contain 
fishes in blue. From the base of the columns spring branches 
to which cling apes in conflict with mythical animals. The 
various branches terminate in the heads of dragons, fish, birds, 
wild boar and other animals. Size, 10 x 6.3 feet.

Period (towards the end of the XVIth Century) done in only 
a few colors, the prevailing tone being heliotrope, showing a 


distinct Chinese influence, with inscriptions which show this 


to be a “gift rug.”’ The main legend reads: 
“T hope you will engoy this rug as you enjoy the buds of the springtime (or the time of 
roses). May you, your family and yet unborn children enjoy it. Milardt.” (Prob- 
ably a gift at a birth, the final word reading ‘‘a birth-gift.’’) 

Size, 7.1 2 4.8 feet. 


1326. Antique Persian Silk Rug. 


Ivory ground medallion; pendant and corners pieces of helio-

_ Antique Persian Silk Kashan Tomb Rug. 

_ Deep ivory ground, seal brown border with coventional lotus 
pattern in heliotrope. The inner and outer borders fawn color. 
‘The field ornamented with a large Urn from which spring two 
flowering trees bearing also ripe pomegranates. On either side 
_ of the Urn are two trees with broken trunks, symbolical of the 
lives prematurely ended. The Mihrab of heliotrope. The 
prevailing colors heliotrope and soft sage green. An interesting 
feature is the introduction of large orchids of heliotrope color 
into the design. Size, 10 x 5 feet. 


Antique Persian Silk Carpet, Sehna-Kurdestan Weave. 


Five borders of alternate colors in Khorassan design. Inside 
is an ivory border four inches wide, containing inscriptions all 
around. The centre of the rug is dark blue covered with Persian 
floral pattern in rose, turquoise blue and ivory. The weave of 
this rug is very rare. 

The proverbs repeated around the border are: 


“4 bad friend will be unable to answer the questions put to him in Eternity.” 
** The Speech of Yusuf is sweeter than the sayings of Religion.” 
“Your presence is as dear to my heart, as was the presence of Aiyaz to Sultan 


Mahmoud.” (Repeated.) 
Size, 11.4 x 8.6 feet. 


1329. Antique Persian Silk Carpet. 


From the center of the rug on a light rose ground range a series 
of light blue cartouches with inscriptions, intersected by two 
similar bands across the width of the rug, thus dividing it into 
six sections. Each of these sections contain four panels of highly 
artistic design showing cartouches and floral patterns. The 
border is dark rose with light blue cartouches with inscriptions 
and floral patterns. The inscriptions are as follows: 

Centre lines: “‘What says the lark to the rose in the garden?” He said: “That 
you with your rosy cheeks should bloom. Why weary of life when everything 
around you is beautiful ?”’ 


(The small lozenges repeat: “May you enjoy it,”—meaning the rug.) 
Cross line: ‘‘I love your presence, therefore you are welcome. May a thousand 


lives be sacrificed at your every step !’’ (Repeated twice.) 
Border: ‘What says the rose to the lark?” He says: “‘He whose deeds are as 


open as the day has no anxieties.” (Repeated. ) 
Lozenges: “The man whose hat is of silk both inside and out can take tt off, he 


is honest, and has nothing to conceal.”
